8 Plug and connection assignment

This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equip‐ment in such a way that a perfect sound experience is ensured.

Please note these advices, because especially in ‘Sound & Light’ caution is indicated: Even if aplug fits into the socket, an incorrect connection may result in a destroyed power amp, a shortcircuit or ‘just’ in poor transmission quality!

Unbalanced transmission is mainly used in semi-professional environment and in hifi use.Instrument cables with two conductors (one core plus shielding) are typical representatives ofthe unbalanced transmission. One conductor is ground and shielding while the signal is trans‐mitted through the core.

Unbalanced transmission is susceptible to electromagnetic interference, especially at lowlevels, such as microphone signals and when using long cables.

Introduction

Balanced and unbalanced trans‐mission

Plug and connection assignment

active speaker

In a professional environment, therefore, the balanced transmission is preferred, because thisenables an undisturbed transmission of signals over long distances. In addition to the conduc‐tors ‘Ground’ and ‘Signal’, in a balanced transmission a second core is added. This also transfersthe signal, but phase-shifted by 180°.

Since the interference affects both cores equally, by subtracting the phase-shifted signals, theinterfering signal is completely neutralized. The result is a pure signal without any noise inter‐ference.
